My Harris is the same mate, but then Im running lumpy cams, bigger carbs, etc. I usually start it without the choke to be honest, or put it on and flick it off again straight after starting and watch the throttle for a minute.

Sounds like its flooding... too much fuel around, so running rich and won't need so much choke. Could just be a sticky float valve, a bit of sh*te in it, or a leaking float!?
